Robotics Software Engineer

Description

The team builds autonomous robots that work on dairy farms, in real farm conditions.

You will work alongside robotics, software, systems, electronics and mechanical engineers. Your main focus is making sure the robots are reliable before they reach farms, through simulation, system validation, test infrastructure and software quality. You will also help shape the autonomy stack, including navigation, motion planning and robot behaviour.

The company was founded 75 years ago by two brothers in Maassluis. It now employs 2,500 specialists and supplies automated systems to dairy farmers worldwide.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain simulation environments that speed up robot development and validation.
• Create automated test frameworks, system-level validation pipelines and CI/CD workflows for robot software.
• Build tools that make integration, debugging, performance analysis and regression testing faster.
• Raise software quality through code reviews, automated tests and sound engineering practice.
• Help shape the autonomy stack in navigation, path planning, motion control and robot behaviour.
• Own technical solutions from first concept through to deployment on real robots.

Requirements

• A bachelor's or master's degree in software engineering, computer science, robotics or a related field.
• Experience with Embedded Linux, Git and C++.
• Hands-on work with robot simulators such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Webots or similar.
• Knowledge of CI/CD and DevOps practices for robotics software.
• A whole-system view when you analyse and solve problems.
• Openness to feedback, curiosity, and the drive to keep learning.
